Talk Cottage is highly maintained and spotlessly clean. It is an ideal base to explore mid Wales and has all amenities near by including a good roadside cafe for a tasty breakfast after a morning departure.

Warm, comfortable and with a welcome pack. Nice and peaceful once the moderate daytime traffic dies down. If I would make one suggestion, it would be to add a shaver socket in the bathroom, unless I somehow missed it.
